At least once every three to five years a skilled professional should come in to your home to help you improve your indoor air quality as well as help lengthen the life of your HVAC equipment.

By the time kids are between eight and 10 years of age, they are mature enough to have full responsibility for loading and unloading the washer and dryer. If you begin teaching these skills when they are young, they will understand the entire process of doing laundry by the time they are 10 or 11.
